UNSPSC 50486406: Cherry tomato purees

The variety of tomates known as cherry tomatoes which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50486406 Cherry tomato purees, a Commodity code, represents state and local procurement of shelf-stable tomato products and prepared tomato-based foods for institutional food service operations—notably canned tomatoes, tomato sauces, and tomato-containing prepared items serving corrections facilities, state hospitals, state supported living centers, school nutrition programs, and county senior services. State and local governments soliciting under this code operate food service for detained or resident populations, requiring bulk quantities of standardized, specification-compliant items with extended shelf life and compliance with USDA/FDA standards. The issuing bodies span state health and human services departments (Texas HHSC, Illinois, Oregon Department of Corrections), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia), county commissioners (Gwinnett County, Georgia), and state prison systems (Texas Department of Criminal Justice). Recent solicitations emphasize institutional food service procurement—including prepared tomato products alongside broader consumable and fresh-produce buys—rather than cherry tomato purees as a distinct line item.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas (multiple HHSC procurements at state supported living centers and corrections facilities), Georgia (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), and Oregon (Department of Corrections). Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections IFB S2910000017145 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (diced, stewed, sliced, whole, or halves) due June 19, 2026, with an Oregon-fabricated or Oregon-resident bidder preference of 5 percent and a prior purchase reference at $13.75 per case from California Healthy Harvest in February 2026; the Texas HHSC IFB HHS0016792V2 for supplemental food and consumables serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, encompassing 210 line items including fresh, frozen, dry, and refrigerated products with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years and a response deadline of March 19, 2026; and the Texas HHSC IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a historical prior-period value of $1.5 million and responses due July 13, 2026. School districts solicit similar broad food procurement (Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271, due June 15, 2026; Burke County Public Schools sealed bids due June 5, 2026 at 3:00 PM) under the Buy American Act, typically bundling tomato products within larger institutional food service contracts rather than as standalone commodity buys.
